ADB not working

Can someone please help me. I've been trying to get my computer to recognize my phone for several days now and I cant get it too. I've tried everything. Could some sort of malware be stopping it? I need to get ADB working somehow. I have serious issues with this phone and cant do anything without ADB.
 
Let's start with the basics (sorry if it's too basic).

You've enabled developer options and turned on USB debugging?
You've got a recent copy of at least the minimal Android SDK?
Including drivers?
You've tried different cables and USB ports on your PC?

What OS are you running on your PC?
 
yes I have current drivers and adb and fastboot. im running a multi boot system windows 7 pro and debian Linux. adb doesn't work on either via usb or wifi. I think something is blocking it or something.

I can help you with linux. You need to install the android rules.

1. Download the attached file and rename it to 51-android.rules
2. Open a terminal in the directory of the file
3. Enter the following commands
4. After the commands you can plug your phone to the pc

Bash: 
sudo cp -f 51-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart

What exactly happens when you plug your phone into your PC? Any indication at all that something's been plugged in? If not you might have a bad cable or a bad USB port on the phone.

It says that the device driver was installed incorrectly. I take all the steps to try and fix per many searches and threads and it still doesn't work. Are you familiar with fs structure and how it should look on a stock ROM? I think my phone has some major issues I just dont know enough and cant find anything out without adb. Im trying to unlock the bootloader and root device.
 
If it were me, I'd boot the PC to Linux, put the phone in fastboot mode and see if the PC recognizes it. That shouldn't require any special drivers and if it doesn't work it indicates a hardware problem. Either cable, port or the phone itself.
